Description
The “Our Food & Balanced Diet” (50x70 cm) educational chart is designed for primary classrooms to visually present the core principles of healthy eating, balanced nutrition, and the importance of including different food groups in daily meals.
Chart Features
Size: 50x70 cm, laminated and multicolor print for engaging classroom display.
Illustrates the food pyramid or healthy plate, dividing daily diet into key food groups: cereals/grains, vegetables, fruits, proteins (beans, pulses, meats, dairy), fats, and water.
Each food group is depicted with easily identifiable examples (bread, rice, leafy greens, fruits, milk, eggs, fish, etc.) and labels explaining their nutritional importance.
Clearly marks the recommended proportion of each food group in a balanced diet:
Emphasizes half the plate filled with fruits and vegetables; a quarter with whole grains; a quarter with protein, with limited sugars and fats.
Shows functions of nutrients:
Carbohydrates for energy
Proteins for growth and repair
Fats for energy and cell function
Vitamins and minerals for immunity and healthy body function
Importance of water and fibre.
Typically highlights “deficiency diseases” and advises against both undernutrition and overnutrition.
Educational Value
Helps young learners identify healthy foods, understand the value of a diverse diet, and relate food choices to health and growth.
Often used as a visual aid in science and health curriculum, supporting lessons on nutrition, self-care, and community health practices.
Supports activity-based classrooms, encouraging students to identify, sort, and discuss foods from different groups and their roles in a healthy diet.
This chart is ideal for developing early knowledge of nutrition and establishing life-long healthy eating habits in children.
